Re: New to Red Week..just a little skeptical.. (by Mary T.):

I just joined redweek & am thinking about renting a 2 bedroom unit. I am very skepitcal because I was he asked for half down & the balance once the papers are signed & approved by the resort. Is it customary to do this? What protection do I have & do I have a certain amount of time to cancel? Would I get my money back if I cancel w/in a certain amount of time? Is there insurance for people in this kind of situation? I certainly don't want to loose $4000 just because I didn't do the right thing. Please help me any way you can. Thanks Mary

We have owned a two bedroom lockoff at Harborside since 2001 - 2 weeks (week 5 & week 25) . We purchased pre-construction and have never missed a week in all those years. More than 20 visits and only one week where the weather was bad. Harborside is still the best dstination in the Carribean... and we have been to most over the past 35 years. We own a fixed unit (4th floor corner overlooking the marina) and fixed weeks. We have rented out half of the 2 bedroom unit several times quite successfully... always rented throught RedWeek. Like buying or renting real estate anywhere... do your research - but most importantly, rent from an OWNER, not a BROKER and ONLY RENT A FIXED UNIT AND WEEK.... or else you might be disappointed to find no unit available or a unit with a view if the Paradise Island Bridge (not a nice view). Join RedWeek and use their resources, they are the best. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions... I almost feel like a native and can give you good restaurant and activity suggestions if you go. P.S. we seldom eat at any Atlantis restaurants... way too expensive!!! But there are some really great affordable restaurants on Nassau and only a short taxi ride away.
